The Footprint X Macba Life Kingfoam Elite High Insoles are engineered to withstand extreme impacts where conventional insoles fail. Born from the collaboration between Footprint and Macba Life, their purpose is clear: deliver maximum impact absorption without sacrificing stability or durability. The multilayer construction combines high-performance foam with technical protective layers that shield the core material during intense skate sessions. These insoles don’t just cushion landings; they actively redistribute impact energy to reduce direct stress on the heel and forefoot. Every component serves a precise function, from the graduated drop to the fully wrapping heel capsule, resulting in a stable, reliable platform that has been laboratory tested under real-world impact conditions.
Performance
Performance is centered around extreme impact absorption, confirmed through laboratory testing under the ASTM F 1614 standard. With the ability to absorb up to 90% of impact energy, these insoles significantly reduce stress on joints during hard landings. The technical drop, featuring 10 mm in the heel and 5 mm in the forefoot, promotes a stable stance and improved control, especially during tricks that load the rear foot. The heel capsule wraps the entire heel ball, helping to stabilize the foot and maintain alignment even on imperfect landings.
Functional construction
The Kingfoam core is wrapped in a thick protective skin designed to prevent premature deformation and extend the lifespan of the insole. A reinforced textile top layer with DuraWeave enhances abrasion resistance, making it suitable for daily, high-intensity use. The insoles are compatible with all foot types and can be trimmed to achieve a precise fit inside different skate shoes. This construction prioritizes long-term durability while maintaining consistent performance.
Technology applied to performance
At the core lies FluidX Protection, a specialized formulation engineered to dissipate extreme impact energy progressively. This same technology has been used in aerospace applications, providing a level of reliability rarely seen in skateboarding equipment. The interaction between FluidX and the multilayer structure allows the insole to respond dynamically to varying impact forces while retaining its properties over time.
